Understanding which career you are best suited for can feel like an overwhelming process. With the support of a therapist, you can explore your individual strengths, skills, and values and how these may apply to a fulfilling career. You can also work collaboratively on developing a course of action to pursue your professional goals. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit for therapy.

In my career counselling, I address burnout and workplace stress by aligning clients' jobs with their values and needs, using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and Somatic Experiencing. We explore emotional and physical responses to work, identifying dissatisfaction sources. This insight helps us consider career transitions that better match personal goals, enhancing job satisfaction and fulfillment. This strategic approach aims to create a more rewarding and nourishing professional life for clients.

There can be a lot of pressure to figure out one’s career or to decide where one fits within a particular field. Oftentimes this is a winding road rather than a straight route. Within therapy, I will support you in identifying and exploring the values, goals, interests, and passions most important to you so that you can make decisions about your career that feel right to you. I will also work with you to process possible obstacles along the way such as (and certainly not limited to) challenging work dynamics, stress and burnout, and difficulties finding a work/life balance. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

I can provide strategies for you to find new or different employment successfully. I'm not only a registered psychotherapist but I'm also a success coach. I have a PhD in leadership and policy and a background in business. I've had many jobs and careers from modelling, personal training, to a Bell operator and a Purolator driver. I've been in retail sales, and sold photocopies, PR, and software. I've been a teacher of primary/junior students, and professor in sales, and a professor in graduate education. I have owned a restaurant, and a tutoring company. I am sure I have missed something! I'm reinventing myself once again looking to be an author! Let me help you find your way!

Through our sessions, clients gain clarity on their strengths, values, and aspirations, enabling them to make informed decisions about their professional lives. We explore potential barriers such as self-doubt or fear of change, and develop strategies to overcome them. By fostering self-awareness and confidence, therapy empowers clients to set achievable goals and navigate career transitions with resilience. Whether it's exploring new opportunities, advancing in their current role, or seeking a more satisfying work-life balance, therapy provides invaluable support in achieving career success and personal fulfillment.

A career is more than just a way to pay the bills. Every person spends most of their life in their careers and the career satisfaction/non-satisfaction spills over to the person’s personal life, too. However, there are many variables that can lead to career dissatisfaction. It can be the environment, interpersonal relationships, the skills and talents required for the job, and ultimately the person’s view of the job. A successful career counselling helps the client to take a closer look at these variables and to tackle the issues that lead to an unhealthy career life.
